About bmiMD
bmiMD is a medical weight loss clinic that prescribes GLP-1 medications through telehealth.
Read our full bmiMD review →About Sesame Care
A subscription running $39-$99/month pays for the clinical care and nothing else; drugs are charged separately at cash rates, which includes Zepbound from $299 through LillyDirect and a Wegovy self-pay promotion at $199/month. Nothing in the weight-loss line is compounded, only branded. Rather than working off a stocked formulary the way most weight-loss platforms do, Sesame prices transparently and puts patients in touch with independent provider practices.

bmiMD
What we like
- Semaglutide at $99 a month, 48% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $139 a month, 48% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Sesame Care
What we like
- Semaglutide at $149 a month, within the normal band around this register's $199 median for the same drug and form
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
- Both oral and injectable options are on record, so the format is a choice rather than a condition
Watch-outs
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- Its orforglipron and semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Our Verdict
bmiMD takes it, 9.1 against 6.7, and it is especially strong on starting below a standard dose, with microdose tiers. Sesame Care is no weak second and may fit you better on oral orforglipron alongside the injectables.
